idea for the n00bs that wanna play but can't download

[dorbian]

i was thinking,

i use bittorent alot for downloads.
and then it hit me when one of the new players couldn\'t download all the parts.
i\'m goin to share the extracted file over bittorent and put it on one of the trackers.

i don\'t know if anyone wan\'t to help me with this one but it would help us to get more people to the game and create a bigger community even if we put it on the download pages as a game.

tell me what you all think of the idea!

Hmm, couldn\'t they just get it from here: http://www.fragnetics.com/download.php?file=planeshift

And besides, putting it on a peer-to-peer network will just bring more and more people who haven\'t read the guide or any FAQ.
We get enough of that allready.

And I don\'t think you really want this to spread on such networks, if people want the game they should come here.

[dorbian]

but not everyone knows the game exists and when alot of people see it on a list like that they might get it and start playing.

and that the people get it from the official site doesn\'t mean they read the faq just look at the forum most of the post are about newbies that didn\'t read the faq
and we simply cant say RTFM or STFI cuz that\'s why we are here to give support to the new people and when there are more and more people there will also be more people that will help us with that problem.

so i think the p2p is a great idea ( and i\'m not the only one )

Games such as these, that are \"free software\", are kind of the whole idea behind peer to peer networks...

hmm...if your going to do it anyways, you should a least include a text file with the .exe which says like, \"This is just a pre-alpha tech demo, you can only blah blah blah, the next release, CB (Crystal Blue) will include a lot more things to do including combat!\" and include moogie\'s question thing...that might help out some.

good idea i\'ll zip it and share it on every sharing app i have because we need more serious players and they probably can\'t find the game ( i found it trough damn luck you have to search really hard ) so we might have a chance for this to work

thanx for the good support on this.
if there are more people that wanna join me i will be happy to send you the .torrent file and if possible i will put a link to it on the forum here so more people can help me share this file

Uhm, no... Try searching for \"free mmorpg\" with http://www.google.com, or http://www.alltheweb.com .. guess what the first hit is :rolleyes:

*Xalthar curses at google for not allowing him access to their crap site!!*

[Moogie]

Sounds good. I\'ll share PS on edonkey. Don\'t forget that .txt file

[Caldazar]

Rather good idea, but make sure to not share your installed folder

[dorbian]

i still have the .exe file you need to install it i tought of that together with moogies link and a .txt file where the most information will be in or a small offline website that will be in the folder so you can read the faq in there and some install information

[Xalthar]

ok, mogura if you share it on eDonkey, tell me the file name, and I\'ll down it and share it too...

[dorbian]

i\'ll hash it for kazaa lite too :> and put it on some website\'s ( like mine )

[dorbian]

the zip file with the link to mogura and the readme with the faq from the ps site if you have any changes tell me so i can change it too.

the zip without ps.exe inside

[Nairan]

i might spread it over emule i needed

[dorbian]

the bittorent is going great i have bout 4 dl-ers and 5 seeds including me so we might be able to get some people here
